WhatsApp chat history backup to Google Drive might soon be possible

WhatsApp is all set to make backing up chat history as well as media filed to Google Drive an easier and simpler process. Leaked text strings from the WhatsApp translation group have revealed that it will soon be integrating to Google Drive in order to backup/restore chat history as well as media.
According to a report in Android Police, a WhatsApp Translation group member has claimed there is a new string in the app. The report also claims that a leaked screenshot has shown that "there's a time stamp for the last Drive backup and an option to delete it."  Dutch website DroidApp.nl has reiterated these claims and has said it has received the same set of strings to translate.
The report in Android Police reveals that the media that can be backed up will not include videos and that a back up on Google Drive will only be possible through a Wi-Fi or cellular network.
One of the screenshots also reveals that the restoring option is only available on apps that have been installed on new devices. Upon not accepting this request, users will lose all backup. So far, WhatsApp has not confirmed the feature.
